Jim Steinman Quotes

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight.
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright.
There's evil in the air
And there's thunder in the sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets.

Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost.<p> And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
But with every other beat I got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you.

The sea is whipping the sky The sky is whipping the sea You can hide away forever from the storm But you'll never hide away from me.

You can take the darkness from the deep of the night And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright I gotta follow it 'cause everything I know Well, it's nothing 'till I give it to you.

I have travelled across the universe through the years to find her. Sometimes going all the way is just a start...

I know just how to fake it And I know just how to scheme I know just when to face the truth And then I know just when to dream. And I know just where to touch you And I know just what to prove I know when to pull you closer And I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading And I know the time's gonna fly And I'm never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you But I know I've got to give it a try.
And I know the roads to riches And I know the ways to fame I know all the rules and then I know how to break'em And then I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you And I'll never let you fall And I don't know how you do it Making love out of nothing at all.

I know that I'm gonna be like this forever I'm never gonna be what I should And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while But I know that I'll be bad for good.

It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by. Turn around Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.
Turn around bright eyes. Every now and then I fall apart.

Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light.

I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night.

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart.

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.

But it was long ago and it was far away,
Oh god, it seems so very far.
And if life is just a highway
Then the soul is just a car.<p>And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive.
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now.
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!
